I have knitted a new hat. It's a Gemma from Rowan. I have done some adjustment. I heard it was easy to knit it too big and that it was really important to get the first inches tight enough. I made it a lot smaller, but I'm very pleased with the resault. I used Tapestry from Rowan. Used about 52 gram.

I have done something since last update, but have had limited access to the computer. Now that's been taken care off, and I can show off all the things I've been knitting since the last update. I think I have been very productive lately. I have finished a pair of socks. Very pleased with them and they fit perfectly.

Two tiny, gorgeous girls came into this world a few weeks before they were expected. They just had to get a little something to welcome them. I knitted hats and socks in Fabel. Very tiny and cute. It's the smallest socks I have ever knitted. I hope they fit.

I started knitting on a sweater during Autumn, but it has been lying in my basket ever since. Didn't have the time to knit on it in the middle of knitting Christmas presents. I took it out of my basket recently and I'm done knitting and have to sew it together. I hope to be done tomorrow. It's knitted in Inca, alpaca yarn and is very soft. I'm looking forward to finish it and wear it. Helt til slutt, her er et bilde av meg i kjolen jeg strikket ferdig for en stund siden.

For Christmas I got some skeins of alpaca yarn from Du Store Alpakka. I had to find out what I wanted to knit and a nice pattern. I ended up with a neckwarmer to me. The pattern is fraom Drops. I'm very happy with the resault, and my daughter said she wanted a neckwarmer exactly like mine. I might end up knitting another for her.

I have started on another pair of socks. The patter is from the book Favorite socks. Nice book and it's the first pair of socks I knit from the book. I use Opal I got from my secret friend, sina, in September from Hobbyforum.

I have received my PIF, Pay it forward, gift from Pinneguri. She has knitted theese gorgeous mittens for me. They're a real piece of art with that pattern and thin needles. I'm so impressed. The mittens are great. Lots of thanks, Pinneguri! I have to think about what to make to my PIF-friends.

I have knitted myself a pair of gloves in alpakka. They are soft and warm, and they are not too big, something all the gloves I buy in the store are. They are the first pair of gloves I have knitted, but it wasn't so difficult. I had imagined it was harder, so I might knit more gloves.

I have also knitted a dishcloth. I used the yarn I got from my Secret Pal 11, it's soft and thick cotton yarn in great colors. The pattern is Baked with love, even though you can hardly see the pattern. I'm happy and it works very well.

I have decided to follow the Sock kal 2008. That means I have to knit a pair of socks every month this year. I hope I can manage that. I have had a good start at least and my January socks are done. They are knitted in Fabel from Drops. The pattern is here. They are a gift to a friend, so I hope she'll like them.
